Chapter 2: Server Installation
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your system up and running.
Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system
operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your
system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory
etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing
specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. You will also need
it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in
the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the server was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system
into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process
in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you
begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door •
completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for
installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,
service closets and the like).
2-1
SUPERSERVER 1026GT-TF Series User's Manual
!
!
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices •
acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.
Warnings and Precautions!
Rack Precautions
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to •
the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple
•
rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
•
rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-
•
multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Rack-mounted equipment should not be used as a shelf or work space.
•
Server Precautions
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack • before you install the
rails.
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then
•
work up.
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
•
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
•
ing them.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers •
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airfl ow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

SUPERSERVER 1026GT-TF Series User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC818G chassis into a rack unit
with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the
installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Note: This rail will fi t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures
directly to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to
the rack itself.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Inner Rail Extensions
The SC818G chassis includes a set of inner rack rails in two sections: inner rails (A)
and inner rail extensions (B). The inner rails are preattached and do not interfere
with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to install to a server rack. Attaching
the inner rail extensions to to the inner rails stabilizes the chassis within the rack.
Installing the Inner Rail Extensions
Place the inner rail extensions (B) over the preattached inner rails (A) which 1.
are attached to the side of the chassis. Align the hooks of the inner rail with
the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces "outward" just like the
inner rail.
Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.2.
Secure the chassis with screws as illustrated.3.
Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.4.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
Optional brackets (p/n MCP-290-00016-0N) are needed to install the server to a
telco (open type) rack.
To install the server into a Telco type rack, use the two L-shaped brackets on either
side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend
out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight
between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets
positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish
by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under the blower
fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the drive bay area
from the serverboard area of the chassis.
2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the hard drives have been properly installed
and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
For servicing the hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.1.
If you need to remove or install hard drives, please refer to Chapter 6.2.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system component 1.
layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the compo-
nents that generate the most heat.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.

System Safety
4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Note: power should always be disconnected before performing any service on the system.
Basic electrical safety precautions shall be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the server from damage:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well
•
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
•
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-•
stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules
and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the
system with the operating system fi rst and then unplug the power cords of all
the power supply units in the system.
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
•
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
•
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection
•
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
•
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure •
that the unit is also reliably connected to Earth (ground).
Serverboard Battery:
• CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).
This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
DVD-ROM Laser:
• CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a
DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous
radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way.
Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-
•
ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the server clean and free of clutter.
•
The server weighs approximately 38 lbs. (17.3 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting •
the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out
to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-
•
moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be
stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
•
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or
be pulled into a cooling fan.
4-2
Chapter 4: System Safety
!
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal •
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact
with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure
•
it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections
have been made.
4-3 ESD Precautions
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally suffi cient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags •
until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
•
bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may
•
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
•
memory modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not •
in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
•
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the X8DTG-DF serverboard into the
chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard
jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart
are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely close the
chassis when you have fi nished working with the serverboard to better cool and
protect the system.
5-1 Handling the Serverboard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully
(see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep one hand
under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following measures
are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge •
(ESD).
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
•
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
•
memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic •
bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
•
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.
5-2 Serverboard Installation
This section explains the fi rst step of physically mounting the X8DTG-DF into the
SC118G chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most
common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the serverboard,
follow the procedure in reverse order.
Installing to the Chassis
Access the inside of the system by removing the screws from the back lip of 1.
the top cover of the chassis, then pull the cover off.
Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboard align properly with their 2.
respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
Carefully mount the serverboard to the serverboard tray by aligning the board 3.
holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.
Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboard that line up 4.
with the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you
might strip the threads). Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the
serverboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.
Finish by replacing the top cover of the chassis.5.
Warning: To avoid damaging the serverboard and its components, do not apply
any force greater than 8 lbs. per square inch when installing a screw into a mounting hole.
5-2
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup
5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel
and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed to prevent them from blocking the fl ow of cooling air that moves through
the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you
should take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting
them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data
cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page
5-9 for connector locations.)
SATA drive data cable (SATA0 ~ 5)
•
SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO-0, T-SGPIO-1)•
Control Panel cable (JF1)•
GPU power cables (JPW2, JPW3)•
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The X8DTG-DF has a 20-pin proprietary power supply connector (JPW1) for connection to the ATX power supply. See Section 5-9 for power connector pin defi ni-
tions.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon cable to simplify this connection. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other
end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status
LEDs on the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the
serverboard, jumpers can be used
to choose between optional settings.
Jumpers create shorts between two
pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identifi ed with a square
solder pad on the printed circuit board.
See the serverboard layout pages for
jumper locations.
Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed"
means the jumper is on both pins and
"Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully.
The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
ESD damage.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic •
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
•
memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic •
bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
•
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

6-2 Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. A
ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect
the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on the Control
Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both
connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path.
The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can
be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Installation."
6-3 System Cooling
Eight 4-cm counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the system. Each fan
unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite
directions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airfl ow and works to
dampen vibration levels.
It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a
good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and
cool the components.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails, the
remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. Replace any failed fan at your earliest
convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a
failed fan). Failed fans can be identifi ed through the BIOS. (See the fan numbering
in Figure 6-3. These numbers are also imprinted on the fl oor of the chassis.)
Replacing a System Fan (Figure 6-2)
If the BIOS is not being utilized to determine which fan has failed, open the 1.
top cover of the chassis while the system is running to locate the position of
the failed fan. Never run the server for an extended period of time with the
top cover open.
Turn off the power to the system and unplug the AC power cord.2.
Remove the failed fan's wiring from the serverboard.3.
Remove the four pins securing the fan to the fan tray. 4.
Lift the failed fan from the fan tray and out of the chassis.5.
Place the new fan into the vacant space in the fan tray, while making sure the 6.
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans in the same fan tray.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the
chassis or power down the system to install or replace hard drives. Proceed to the
next section for instructions.
Hard Drive Installation
The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for
the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis.
Removing Hard Drive Carriers from the Chassis
1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier
handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the drive carrier out of the chassis.

CPU Temperature/System Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.
The following items will be displayed for your reference only:
CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature
The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Celsius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its newer
processors. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature
information that the motherboard can read. This ‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on which
the motherboard takes action during different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by
increasing CPU Fan speed, triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can
have different ‘Temperature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard what its ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way
around. This results in better CPU thermal management.
Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain
thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier
for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status, rather than by just simply
seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25
o
C). The CPU Temperature feature will display
the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS:
Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature
is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will
run normally as confi gured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
User intervention: No action required.
Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and
generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU
is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’.
The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as confi gured in the BIOS. The
fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU fans
and the chassis ventilation for blockage.
High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate
an overheat alarm.
User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action
immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature
to correct any problems.
Notes: 1. The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to
prevent damage to the CPU.

7-7 BIOS Recovery
Warning! Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related
issue. Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the
system. In no event shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS update. If you
need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the
BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.
How to Recover the AMIBIOS Image (-the Main BIOS
Block)
An AMIBIOS fl ash chip consists of a boot sector block, and a main BIOS code block
(a main BIOS image). The boot sector block contains critical BIOS code, including
memory detection and recovery code to be used to fl ash a new BIOS image if the
original BIOS Image is corrupted. When the system is powered on, the boot sector
code executes fi rst. Once it is completed, the main BIOS code will continue with
system initialization and complete the bootup process.
Notes: BIOS Recovery described below is used when the main BIOS
block crashes. However, when the BIOS Boot sector crashes, you will need
to send the motherboard back to Supermicro for RMA repairs.
7.7.1 Boot Sector Recovery from a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB device without
additional utilities needed. A user can download the BIOS image into a USB fl ash
device, and name the fi le "SUPER.ROM" for the recovery process to load the fi le.
A USB fl ash device such as a USB Flash Drive, a USB CDROM or a USB CDRW
device can be used for this purpose,
Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image (the ROM fi les) 1.
saved in a root directory into your USB drive.
While turning the power on, press and hold <Ctrl> and <Home> at the same 2.
time until the USB Access LED Indicator comes on. This might take a few
seconds.
Once the USB drive LED is on, release the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys. 3.
AMIBIOS will issue beep codes to indicate that the BIOS ROM fi le is being
updated.
When BIOS fl ashing is completed, the computer will reboot. Do not interrupt 4.
the fl ashing process until it is completed.
7-26
Chapter 7: BIOS
7.7.2 Boot Sector Recovery from an IDE CD-ROM
This process is almost identical to the process of Boot Sector Recovery from a USB
device, except that the BIOS image fi le is loaded from a CD-ROM. Use a CD-R or
CD-RW drive to burn a CD with the BIOS image fi le in it, and name the fi le "SUPER.
ROM" for the recovery process to load the fi le.
7.7.3 Boot Sector Recovery from a Serial Port ("Serial
Flash")
This process, also known as "Serial Flash," allows the user to use a serial port to
load a BIOS image for Boot Sector recovery . This feature is usually used for embedded systems that rely on a serial port for remote access and debugging.
Requirements
In order to use Serial Flash for Boot Sector Recovery, you will need to meet the
following requirements.
The "Target system," the system that needs BIOS updates, must have a serial
•
port and "Serial Flash" support embedded in the BIOS image fi le.
The "Host system" should also have a serial port and a terminal program that
•
supports XModem Transfer protocol (Hyper Terminal for the Windows operating
systems, and minicom for Linux/FreeSBD, etc.).
A Null_modem serial cable
•
How to use Serial Flash for Boot Sector Recovery
Connect a Null_modem serial cable between the target system and the host 1.
system that runs the terminal program.
Make sure that the new BIOS Image fi le is accessible for the host system.2.
Start the terminal program on the host system and create a new connection. 3.
Use the following communication parameters for the new connection.
Bits per second: 115200 bits/sec.
•
Data Bits: 8•
Parity: None•
Stop Bit: 1•
Flow Control: None•

a. At the prompt, press the <SpaceBar> to update the BIOS.
b. When asked to confi rm BIOS updating, press <y> to confi rm BIOS
updates.
c. Press <y> again to begin fl ashing BIOS remotely.
Note: Be sure to complete Steps a~c above quickly because
you have a second or less to do so.
6. Once you've completed the instructions given, a screen will display to indicate
that remote fl ashing is starting and the new BIOS fi le is being uploaded.
7. To use Hyper Terminal to transfer the XModem protocol by using the "Send
File" dialog under the "Transfer" menu, follow the instructions below to complete XModem transfers.
a. Select the "Transfer" menu and enter <Send>.
b. Specify the location of the ROM fi le and select the proper protocol (XMo-
dem).
c. Press <Send> to start ROM File extraction. (See the picture below.)
7-28
Chapter 7: BIOS
d. Once the ROM fi le extraction is completed, the message: "New BIOS re-
ceived OK" will display.
8. Once remote BIOS fl ash is completed, the system will reboot.
Note: AMIBIOS Serial Flash will work with any terminal communications
program that supports VT-100 and XModem protocols, including protocols
designed for GNU/LINUX & BSD operating systems such as minicom. It
is recommended that the terminal program be confi gured to use the 'CR/
LF' style of line termination.

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time
the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the
boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up
procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
